Speaking on NTV, Babirye said she longed to live a normal life like regular people without having to worry about being judged by the public, away from the flashing lights and spotlights she enjoyed in Uganda.

"I have roughly 23 years of experience singing gospel music. One of the things I have admired my whole life is the idea of living a normal life like other people, walking without fear of who might see me. I found that freedom in Canada," she said.

Many Ugandans were arriving in Canada, according to Babirye, and they required help obtaining the necessary immigration documentation. She went on to say that her motivation to study immigration law came from a Canadian gospel minister.

"When I first came here, a lot of people from Uganda were arriving. After observing a pastor regularly helping people move, I decided to find out more information. I went to Carleton University in Ottawa on a scholarship. I studied immigration and migration studies for my master's degree. The course addresses issues related to graduated students, refugees, resettlements, and migration policies," she clarified.

Grounded in God

As she talked about her experiences, Babirye said that God's hand had helped her to become grounded.

"I have known only Jesus since I was nine years old, and I do not know any other life. The Lord has moulded both my strengths and weaknesses. I prayed to God when I was at my weakest," she continued.

She further stressed that she is still an active gospel minister with full control over the new music she is releasing on her new YouTube channel.

She cautioned Ugandan artists against letting other people control their music channels, arguing that she lost her entire catalogue in a similar manner.
